1 UP Yours enjoyed almost instantaneous success from the outset. With a mixture
of humor and serious discussion about video gaming news and new releases, 1 UP's
flagship podcast cemented its position in podcast history with its superb debut
year. 1 UP and Ziff Davis staff John Davison, Luke Smith, Shane Bettenhausen, and
Mark MacDonald joined host Garnett Lee weekly to provide a level of
entertainment only paralleled by GameSpot's The HotSpot.

Garnett Lee opens the show with Whatcha Been Playin'? and makes a controversial
statement. Luke and Shane butt heads over the next generation of consoles, as
Shane looks to defend Sony and Luke looks to attack everybody. The group talks
about the future of gaming, and issues of maturity in the industry, and everybody
basks in Garnett's many foibles.

This Year — recapping the best podcasts.: #3: 1 UP Yours (2006)

1 :54:00 - Various issues and topics including bad quality assurance, multi platform
games, video game journalism, review scores, video games in the media, and the
state of the Electronics Entertainment Exposition
4:20:00 - Random clips

Notes

1 UP Yours was a production of 1 UP.com and Ziff Davis. All clips in this episode are
the property of those parties. The percentage of the original show in this episode is
7.5% (4hrs 42min/60hrs 51 min). You can access the timestamp notes here.

Garnett Lee

Garnett Lee joined 1 UP as a PC editor in 2002 after working for a time in video
game retail. The flagship 1 UP podcast became 1 UP Yours in 2006 after it launched
as a non-descript news show in late 2005. Lee quickly became both a capable host,
as well as the butt of many jokes for his peers as they mused over his age and his
radical opinions about video games. Lee left lUPin 2009 and joined Shacknews
where he started a podcast similar to 1 UP Yours called Weekend Confirmed.

John Davison

After an already storied career in video game journalism, John Davison joined Ziff
Davis in the late 90s. His tenure there saw him switching frequently between
magazines, where he served as editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly and the
Official PlayStation Magazine. He then took charge of Ziff Davis' 1 UP.com. He was
the first regular guest on 1 UP Yours and is now lauded for his forward-thinking
mind. Davison now manages GameSpot. He has effectively retired from
podcasting.

Luke Smith

Luke Smith began his video game career as a writer for news blog Kotaku. He
moved on to 1 UP in 2006. He appeared on 1 UP Yours immediately and was put in
charge of news. Smith's razor-like sense of humor and his aggressive and
passionate tone gave him instant appeal among listeners. He led the podcast's
willingness to openly criticize developers and the industry in a manner not seen
before in professional gaming podcasts. He left lUPin 2007 to join game
developer Bungie.

Shane Bettenhausen

After writing for various gaming outlets, Shane Bettenhausen began his long term
as an editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly. His encyclopedic knowledge of video
games and his apparent intense determination to defend Sony Computer
Entertainment made him a fan favorite. Fans adored his frankness, and his
continued denial of his Sony bias. He left 1 UP in 2008, and after several years with
Ignition Entertainment, joined Sony Computer Entertainment.

Mark MacDonald

Mark MacDonald joined 1 UP after writing for a variety of other gaming
publications. He began work on Electronic Gaming Monthly before being moved
around Ziff Davis, finally managing GameVideos. AJapan aficionado, he handled a
position as a reliever on 1 UP Yours, filling in when one of the regular cast members
was unavailable. He left Ziff Davis in 2007, and after a short while was hired by
Japanese video game localization company 8-4 Ltd., joining former Ziff Davis
employee John Riccardi.

Thanks a TON for the memories. You, sir, did a great job.

If you get a Retronauts best of as well, that'd be awesome as well :)

Regards.

Thank you so much for doing this.

I used to edit out clips from the show, and I still have a huge library of
them sitting around. I would always tell myself that I would eventually go
back and edit them all together into something coherent, but
procrastination always got the better of me.

You actually followed through, and now we all have an easily accessible,
sharable example of what made 1UP Yours such an extraordinary podcast.

The community owes you a debt of gratitude :).
